“While the poet entertains he continues to search for eternal truths, for the essence of being. In his own fashion he tries to solve the riddle of time and change, to find an answer to suffering, to reveal love in the very abyss of cruelty and injustice. Strange as these words may sound I often play with the idea that when all the social theories collapse and wars and revolutions leave humanity in utter gloom, the poet--whom Plato banned from his Republic--may rise up to save us all.” TryingMayIdeasWarPlaySufferingHumanitySocialSoundAnswersFashionStrangePoetTheoryRevolutionEternalEssenceInjusticeSolveCrueltyRepublicCollapsePlatoAbyssGloomRiddleBannedTime And ChangeSocial Theory Book:Aspects of I.B.

“I received a wonderful email after I spoke at a school from a girl who'd lived in a war zone and endured horrors no human being should suffer, let alone a child. This young lady was fortunate to be bought to Britain and seemed to adjust well, but suddenly found herself falling off the rails and sliding into hell when I chatted to her. In her letter, she told me the difference that I'd made. She's now 20 years old and a fashion designer employing staff and she puts her work ethic down purely to talking to me. It's my most treasured letter.” ShouldYearsHumansWellsChildrenMadeWarSchoolYoungSufferingFallGirlFoundDifferencesHuman BeingsTalkingHellWonderfulFashionHorrorEthicsLettersFortunateDesignerBritainZoneSpokesStaffWork EthicEmailRailFashion DesignerEmployingYoung LadiesTreasuredFalling OffWar Zones Author:Simon Weston
“I was never pop-music taken seriously when I was taught. But some people who agree with you will like your music, and some who don't agree with you will like your music.

They want a good life for them and their own.” PeopleThinkingSufferingValuesSpeakTakenFashionLike YouAgreeGood Life Author:Nellie McKay
